In a striking sermon drawing from the book of Acts, Jonathan Cahn issued one of his most urgent warnings yet: a rising tide of antisemitism is no longer confined to the political left — it has crossed over, infecting the conservative movement and even voices who claim to speak in Christ’s name.
And according to Cahn, the stakes are not merely political. They are prophetic.
A Nation Shifting Against Israel
Cahn opened with a startling statistic. A decade ago, roughly 9% of Americans held major antisemitic beliefs. Today, that number has climbed to 24% — a jump from one in ten to one in four Americans.
Cahn noted that the same generation shaped by progressive ideology — one that has embraced radical positions on abortion, gender and sexuality — has also embraced anti-Israel sentiment. “It goes together spiritually,” he said.
The Right Is Not Immune
What makes this moment uniquely dangerous, Cahn argued, is that the poison has now spread to the political right. Senator Ted Cruz recently admitted that in the past six months alone, he has witnessed more antisemitism on the right than in his entire lifetime.
Cahn cited confidential sources in Washington reporting that 30 to 40 percent of congressional staffers under age 30 are followers of Nick Fuentes — a figure who has openly declared his admiration for Hitler and stated that his movement’s rise would lead to the execution of Jews.
“If the enemy can divide the conservative movement over Israel, he can move America away from Israel. And that would be its earthly protection,” Cahn said.
False Christianity and the Rejection of Israel
Cahn reserved pointed criticism for high-profile media figures Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, both of whom claim Christian faith while attacking Israel. Carlson, Cahn noted, has told Christians to “stop supporting Israel,” declared the Jewish people are not the chosen people, and called those who believe otherwise liars or heretics.
“I do not believe he’s ever read the New Testament,” Cahn said. He went further: “You cannot love the King of the Jews and hate the Jews of the King.”
On Nick Fuentes, who claims his movement is rooted in “white Christianity,” Cahn was direct: “I can say that authoritatively — you just can’t do that and be a believer. You can’t know God and spend your life hating others.”
The Jerusalem Gift: A Biblical Pattern
Turning to Acts 20, Cahn pointed to Paul’s final journey to Jerusalem — where he brought Gentile church representatives and financial offerings to bless Jewish believers — as a model every generation of Christians is called to follow.
He quoted Romans 15:27: “If the Gentiles have been made partakers of the spiritual blessings of the Jewish people, their duty is also to minister to them in physical blessings.”
Cahn then continued further: “Every blessing you have in your life came from God through Israel, through the Jewish people. That’s your Bible. Everything.”
Ruth, Naomi and the End of the Age
Cahn closedfrom the book of Ruth. Just as Naomi (representing Israel) first brought blessing to Ruth (representing the Gentile nations), and Ruth later brought blessing back to Naomi, so the church is called — especially in this final hour — to bless back the people who gave it everything.
“At the end of the age, it will be through you and through the church that the salvation will come back — that Naomi will be blessed through Ruth,” Cahn said.
His final charge was simple, personal and uncompromising: “I have never in my life met somebody who cursed Israel or the Jewish people and wasn’t cursed. And I have never met a believer who blessed Israel and wasn’t blessed. Never.”
